On
Tuesday I saw a couple of Barn Owls at Waltham Brooks, but none came near the
road. I then found the three Bearded Tits at Pagham Harbour but they were too far
away to photograph. On Wednesday I joined Mark, Neil, Roger and Murray downland
Trust members at Heyshott Down for more clearance work to benefit the
critically endangered Duke of Burgundy
butterfly. It was a misty morning and I stopped at Waltham Brooks on the way and
saw one Barn Owl hunting. On the way home I visited Waltham Brooks again where
I saw a female Stonechat during a walk along the River Arun. I also called in
at Arundel WWT and saw pair of Coots mating, one of which caught a fish. Just
as the light was dimming I found the juvenile Water Vole by Mill Road.
